"Excellent vocal teacher

We have found Mr. Studivant to be professional, courteous and experienced. He has helped to develop and improve my daughter's voc

al ability and her singing confidence has grown (in front of other people). He communicates in a timely fashion and provides necessary feedback on her progress. We are grateful to have him."

"Happy Student

We currently have our eleven year old daughter taking lessons from Ryan. My husband and I were searching the county for an instructor that

would not only teach classical and theory but also have the patience it takes to teach children. We are pleased to say that we found all these traits in Ryan C. He is a wonderful instructor with a very professional and pleasant demeanor. Our daughter seems so eager to learn from her lessons now that she has an instructor that can relate to her. He truly makes learning a fun experience for Gabby.Thank you Ryan!"

"Outstanding educator!

For more than a year, I have been taking piano lessons for personal enrichment and to help stimulate my brain after brain surgery w

hich left me disabled. Laura has designed the lessons so I am successful and progressing nicely in a positive atmosphere.

The lessons have improved my memory, attention, and concentration in all areas of my life as well as giving me joy in new successes. My neurologist endorses my lessons as a very holistic therapy. I just find them joyful."

"Great experience

I took just a couple of lessons so far with GFire, but I learned more than by myself in years. She had a lot of patience and explained e

verything very thoroughly, helped with tips, and was generally very helpful. I am taking a break now from my lessons for a few months, but can't wait to get back to my lessons with her once time allows. We did online lessons through Facetime and, even though I was a bit skeptical before i started about having online lessons, it turned out to be a very good experience and it worked very well. All in all, a great experience."

"God sent!

Phenomenal doesn't come close to doing justice to explain how absolutely wonderful Michelle is not just as an instructor but as a person. Miche

lle isn't just a teacher. She is a mentor, a friend and a giver of support, courage, strength, positivity and love. She helps you discover and foster and strengthen your inner voice. Her attitude is completely nonjudgmental allowing you to discover and grow without fear of erring. She creates such a personal connection and invests in you and makes you feel that you matter and can and will succeed in your endeavors. Michelle is one of a kind."

"Stephanie is extraordinary!

I never gave it any thought that it would be possible to learn such a complex instrument via Skype. To find someone as profes

sionally trained as her is very challenging in of itself, but to have someone of her caliber teach my daughter from many miles away in the comfort of our home is truly amazing! Stephanie was very patient, observant, extremely knowledgeable and a talented teacher. It is quite a luxury to have the opportunity to work with her. I'd recommend her highly. If you are hesitant to try her online lessons I would suggest you at least give it a chance; you will be pleasantly surprised."

Take Lessons or DIY? How to Learn to Play Ukulele

Hawaiian for "jumping flea", the ukulele is an enchanting instrument, as versatile and melodious as a guitar. The small bodied, four stringed uke has gained in popularity in recent years, perhaps owing to gorgeous covers like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwoole, and "Im Yours" by Jason Mraz. Trendy or not, the ukulele has a timeless sound. It's enjoyable to play, portable, and relatively easy to learn. Ukuleles are also less expensive than many other instruments, making the pr

Why Are There Different Violin Sizes, and Why Does it Matter?

One of the main concerns that violin students and their parents typically have is purchasing the right-sized violin. Obviously you can't give a five-year-old a full-size violin and expect him or her to be able to handle the instrument. And once kids are in their teenage years, trying to keep up with growth spurts can be extremely difficult, especially considering how much violins cost. Even adults can run into problems when selecting the right size. Fortunately, after a little research, selectin
